so I'm on my second play through of IX, I'm on disc three I just got to Oeilvert. as you may or may not know Oeilvert is a place within an anti-Magic zone. as such, It is recommended, as well as blatantly obvious, to not make a magic heavy party. so, my stupid ass decides to make this party: Zidane, Freya, Dagger and Vivi. so, now half my party is literally fucking useless! to top it all off I only realized this at the entrance to the dungeon after having saved twice since I built this party. I'm kind of a spastic saver and I only keep one save file. so, I'm stuck with this fucking shitty party, I guess. so please, show a little respect for the _inward_stare, Lord of the Idiots!!

Alternatively, have Dagger and Vivi on potion duty. Or if Dagger has a rod with 'healing', then use her to heal party members by hitting them. I actually taken Dagger with me on purpose during some runs, because her magic is so hit and miss at that part of the game anyway.

I actually always use Vivi for Oeilvert and keep Quina behind for the next part. With Zidane and Freya in the party, you've got more than enough firepower to get through it. Make sure you get yourself some dead peppers from Chocobo Hot and Cold and get (one of) Freya's best weapons which can be dug up near there. That'll help you tremendously if you're having difficulties.
